Schlongberg Sachs is a company featured in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V which engages in corporate and investment banking.
Description
They are based on the real life financial institution Goldman Sachs. They are sometimes mentioned on Weazel News in financial reports. The company is owned by the Bank of Liberty as their ATMs have Bank of Liberty interfaces.
They are very well known for their successes and their employees' high bonuses, referencing the lucrative bonuses usually given to bankers at the end of the financial year. This is supported by the fact when Playboy X tells Niko Bellic during Blow Your Cover "I pay like a Schlongberg Sachs bonus!". The Pegorino Family apperently owes money to the corporation as there is the place of start of the Out of Commission chase with Pegorino's men when they may be paying or getting money out of there.
In GTA V, Glenn Scoville mentions in his bail bond mission, that he was the younger vice president of the company.
